Police arranged a trap, asking the informant to enter the complex and purchase drugs from Putman. Investigators say the informant was in the building 10 minutes and emerged with meth. The informant told investigators the drugs were purchased from "Junior."

News of the incident shocked residents of the senior center.

“You can live next door to somebody and they're dealing in drugs, and stuff, so you just don’t know,” said Wayne James, who has lived at Hillcrest Senior Center for three months.

The Oklahoma City Housing Authority, which runs Hillcrest, issued a statement saying, "in the case of methamphetamine, if the tenant is convicted of the manufacture or sale, the tenant is banned from all public and assisted housing nationwide for life."

“I tell him he better quit it, or he’s gonna have the consequences you know, and that’s jail time if they catch him, and they will eventually,” James said.

Police found meth residue, $755 in cash and a box of sandwich baggies in Putman’s apartment.

As of this report, police have not arrested Putman. He is wanted on suspicion of possession of meth, possession of drug proceeds and possession of drug paraphernalia.
